My friend, Sarah, recently told me a cute story about her son, William, and Keira. I thought I'd share it with you. It's one of the best stories I've heard in awhile.
"Last night on the way home from work/school Will was talking about babies and how he wants another one. He asked how babies were made and I said that was something I could tell him about in a few years, but that babies are made by a husband and wife when they love each other. He said that I would be his wife and we would have a baby. I quickly corrected him and said that I could not be his wife because I was his mom, but that someday when he was older he would find a beautiful girl, fall in love, marry her and have a family of his own. Then he says, “Who will be my wife?” I drove along thinking of who his girl friends are in his class and started to name them off. When we got to Keira’s name Will got very excited and exclaimed, “Keira will be my wife!” We happened to be driving over to a friend’s house because Mike was having a fantasy football draft and so Will changed topics and was talking about being a football player and how his dad was going to teach him how and protect him from big players and then out of the blue he says, “...and Keira will come watch me play football because she will be my wife.”
William and Keira will be reunited soon as he will be in her classroom in a week or two. Keira's quite excited to have her buddy join her. When Will was visiting the new room Ms. Kat asked him how he was going to make Keira his wife. He said he would, "...give her a ring and flowers." What a little gentleman!
